This is not the case. The CortexA9 supports break point instructions as 
well as a hardware break and watch points.

There are a number of options depending on your projects needs and 
budget. I suggest you review the Zynq - Zedboard wiki page:

https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Boards/Zynq%20-%20Zedboard

I use JTAG with OpenOCD and libdebugger. The libdebugger support is 
usable but has some issues I am looking into.
